October might be the start of Oscar contending season for a bunch of small films about important things by important people preparing for important moments in tuxedos. But we should always remind ourselves that if you want a thoughtful, moving, intellectual experience, you can always read a book or watch PBS. The movies is for skin. Glorious glorious skin. The more the merrier, with a preview of what to watch in the theaters or at home from our friends at Mr. Skin and the Mr. Skin Minute.

This week’s MSM includes Gemma Arterton not nekkid in the current Runner Runner, but quite bare in The Disappearance of Alice Creed out on BluRay, Maggie Siff and Robin Weigert of Sons of Anarchy fame getting it on in Concussion, and soap star Natalie Hall topless and wicked hot in Plus One, currently On-Demand. That ought to keep you tight for the weekend. Enjoy.
